Miami Dolphins continue to avoid making a big strategic mistake from 2024 with a roster move on Thursday

Last year, the Dolphins did next to nothing during the offseason to add competition to their QB room beyond Tua Tagovailoa, Mike White, and Skylar Thompson. Those three were the only quarterbacks the team carried into training camp aside from Gavin Hardison, who was effectively a camp body and was released during the first week of camp. 

Not surprisingly, that turned out to be a disaster when Tua went down in the second week with a concussion that resulted in a trip to injured reserve, and White - who was released at the end of the preseason - had already caught on with the Bills. Thompson suffered a rib injury the next week against Seattle, and the team turned to Tyler Huntley, who they signed in in free agency, which also proved to be largely fruitless. 

Now, Miami has at least another viable option to mold in Ewers, and it's worth seeing what Gabbert has as far future potential.  The former Redhawk played for Miami from 2019-24 and finished with a 58.5% completion percentage for 10,814 yards, 80 touchdowns, and 30 interceptions in 53 games. 

It's obviously a long shot that Gabbert sticks around.  Still, it's always worth seeing what's out there - a philosophy the Dolphins should have adopted a year ago.
